Nobody likes
to wait from travelling places to long distance talks the world has brought
everything closer, smarter and faster. With the advent of cars, smart phones
and other such technologies everything has become quicker then why not in
foods. In such fast paced world, a fast food goes a long way in saving time.

White castle, America's first fast food chain

Fast food, a
term popularized by Americans in early 1950’s, generally means food prepared
and served quickly. And anything that is fast and good doesn’t take time to
establish itself among the people. This can be seen by successful inception of White Castle America’s first fast food
chain which eventually resulted in spawning new competitors. Fast food chains
like McDonald's, Pizza hut and KFC are now all over the world with their unique
food and its recipes.

Also being
easily made they can be served everywhere from restaurants to drive through,
from stadiums to gas-stations wherever people are ready with their money. What
probably started as a small shop selling normal hamburger or hotdogs as now
turned out to a billion dollar industry.Over the century,
fast food industry has not just changed American diet, but has also brought
economy and business transformation by spreading its wings all over the world.

In India too, KFC, Barista or McDonald's have hundreds of their outlets all over the country. Fast foodindustry inIndia has evolved with the changing lifestyles
of the young Indian population. The sheer variety of food preferences across
the regions has brought about different changes in fast foods outlet’s recipes
and varieties.CCD
or Café Coffee Day, an idea of
Bangalore-based businessman, is the only Indian chain which boasts of hundreds
of outlets across India, but it is classified more as a coffee shop than a fast
food place.

The
variety of fast foods offered in a food court or stall or any restaurants in India
varies from region. Some of the fast food available all over the India is:

IDLI, DOSA and other south Indian Dishes.

Vada pav, Samosa pav, pav bhaji

Pani puri, Bhel puri, chaat Etc.

Although
most of these fast foods are not that harmful everything has a limit. Like
every successful industry fast food chains have its fair shares of negative
criticism some of them being labeled as unhealthy, alleged animal cruelty, or
worker exploitation cases. According to WHO report, Deregulated food markets are
one of the reasons for rise in amount of obesity among people. In response to
these criticism, these food outlets have now started health friendly menu along
with contribution to become more Eco-friendly by reducing packaging waste looks, like they are here to stay.

Recently our Prime minister launched a
‘Skill India’ initiative that aimed at developing people’s skill which means
providing men with required knowledge to help in production of a favourable result. There is no doubt about India having large number of people unemployed
and developing their skill will definitely help them but will they be able to
compete? Will there be desire to the job?

A Skill is something learned in order
to carry out required job functions But Competency not just incorporates skill
but also include abilities, behavior and Knowledge that is fundamental to the
use of a skill. In today’s world these qualities are necessary to succeed and
most of the industries all over the world are looking for such competent people
with skill.

It is the competency attitude that has
to be developed by the people themselves. The Skill initiatives is like the
holding hand for a handshake before meeting the interviewer which requires a
competence attitude for a confident handshake

“Competencies are characteristics and
strengths that are valued by a company for its employees to be able to perform
and excel.”

India already has many skill full
people (although a lot are still left behind), this is the reason that Indians
are all over the world from Gulf countries to Europe and America. So developing
of a competency attitude will definitely bring advantage to not just us but to
the whole world.

As our prime minister has offered one hand of developing a skilled India, its time the people complete a perfect handshake in developing a competence attitude. If both these qualities is developed it won’t take long for
India to be the capital of both ‘Manufacturing units and Human Resource’ of the
world.

Leaders not only have the Skill which
is ability, but also competence that is ability along with willingness and
desire to do the job

Well, I am talking about social media and how people tend to believe the post or Photos posted on internet is real and start sharing it forward. It may be generated by some mischievous kid, just for fun or some people with vested interest but the fact is they fail to check long term or mass affect it has on people.

Every day, there has been so many posts or pictures posted on the internet as so called news or facts, that nowadays it’s getting much harder to separate the fake from the real ones. It’s like every day is an April Fools' Day

Few days back I came across a photo in which a man dressed as an Indian army officer is shown crying for receiving a court marshal

Description:“…this Indian soldier was court marshaled for entering the territory of Pakistan without the permission of his seniors and killing some of their soldier as a response to Pakistan’s attack on India…”

Reality:“It is a scene from a path breaking play“Court Martial”written in 1991 bySwadesh Deepaka popular Indian play writer, novelist and short story writer.”(link for more detail)

As I looked at the comment section of the post, I saw people fighting between themselves about whether he did the right thing or not, based on their respective opinions. The post blamed the Indian government and the higher army personnel for such incident and so did the people who read the post and didn’t mind checking its reality. People didn’t even realize the facts that how can a photograph allowed to be taken inside an army court.

People who blindly follow such stuff take out their emotions about the government or any respected person or organization through such sites. This encourages the persons who start such stories to use people’s feelings to make unwanted issues or create a fear or opinion about others and sometimes this even include our leaders.

One such example of creating a misleading hatred about great leaders is Mahatma Gandhi. In recent past there has been lot of incident where Gandhi’s image tarnished using some of his pictures, but what we fail to realize is in this generation of easy Photoshop software anything can be changed.

The Fake One:

One such picture is the above one where Gandhi is shown getting intimate with a foreign lady, but the reality is the picture is edited from the one with Nehru below.

The original one:

Look at the hand, paper and the face of Gandhi in both pictures and you will see the reality

Another such instance is the one below, where it was reported that mahatma is dancing with the foreigners while his country struggled for independence.

Reality:He is an Australian actor dressed as Gandhi in Sydney.

Some of the fake pictures include glorification of personal heroes, one such pictures is assassination of Gandhi by Nathuram godse,

Description:The post described that this is the original picture of how Gandhi died in reality that he was begging for mercy for his mistakes.

Reality:It is just a brilliant editing and distortion of facts. A movie snapshot blurred to give original 1940’s effect.

Godse had his reasons and to some extent I agree with his opinion of Gandhi’s role in partition (although I don’t agree the with the extreme step he took and again it’s just my opinion) but you don't need to glorify him using fake pictures and caption

I am not a big supporter of Gandhi; he is not the ideal person to be followed. I have read or heard lot of stories that describe his negative side, some of which may be true. But over the years I have seen a lot of such post that turned out to be a fake. Sometimes I feel it is the result of all the corruptions, scam and the ignorance of UPA government towards the people that caused them to question our leaders of over sixty years -the origin of government. Maybe sixty years from now if the present government fails to deliver there would be images describing their notoriety.

Right now there are some fake images which are going around the country praising the present government like the one where even Barack Obama is listening to Narendra Modi

But the fact is it won’t take long before this praising fake pictures turn into blaming ones and people would start believing it such is the tender nature of emotions of some people.
